Load removing autosplitter is live

The load removing timer (LRT) with autosplitter for LiveSplit started by Auddy has been finished by Mysterion_06_ and hies. It features load removal between rooms, which cuts off about 2.5 mins of any run, the option of splitting by each room and automatic reset in main menu (NG) or difficulty selection (NG+). As of now, the loadless time will be used to rank PC runs.

All PC runs must show the LRT at all times, otherwise they will be given the same LRT as the RTA. Old runs have a shared LRT/RTA due to srcom automatically ranking LRT times above RTA even if they are slower. Console runs will only have RTA. Individual levels including Bloody Palace go by in-game time alone.

The timer only pauses between rooms and in the in-game start menu. The reason why loads between cutscenes are not cut is that the 2006 version would save more time overall compared to the HD Collection, and if only HDC would have it, it would be reversed. As the timer pauses in the start menu, runners are allowed to take a breather if they so wish, though it is not encouraged as it makes reviewing the run more cumbersome.

Furthermore on Heaven or Hell, M20 does not split because Vergil's HP bar doesn't get loaded properly since the mission ends so quickly. While annoying, it is easy to time the end from the video.

There's been a bug found in the timer, where it will split if you restart M20. This obviously does not invalidate the run, but it will default to RTA. This will eventually be fixed.
